Performance NotesThis end-of-year tournament is the season finale to the Tour of Champions, a year -long Tour that makes its way across Europe and the world and pits past tennis champions against each other in order to earn ranking points.

The Masters Tennis is now firmly established as the UK's most popular indoor tournament - drawing crowds of more than 30,000 over the course of the event. Players that have taken part in the past have included John McEnroe, Cedric Pioline, Goran Ivanisevic, Pete Sampras and Pat Cash.

John McEnroe won the 'Legends' tournament and Tim Henman became the 'ATP Champion'.

Ivan Lendl and Greg Rusedski were scheduled to play but indisposed and replaced with Richard Krajicek and Fabrice Santoro.

The matches were recorded and broadcast on ITV4 from 19:30 on Friday 2 December 2011.

BBC Sport Relief were filming throughout including a sketch between Tim Henman and actress Miranda Hart..
